The college's administration has had to make some very tough deci- sions regarding student admissions as well.

He cited the Space Shuttle satellite project as an excellent example. This project was made possible by the gift of a special getaway canister valued at $10,000 by Gilbert Moore of Ogden, along with technical and financial assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration. “There are numerous ways a person can financially support the college,"Spainhower said. “We're always extremely grateful when we receive large donations. They have made many of the buildings and programs on campus possible. But the small $10 to $25 donations can go a long way also.” He pointed out that if each of the 35,000 recipients of the Coment donated as little as $10 to the development fund endowment it would add $350,000 a year to the endowment. The interest from these donations could create a perpetual fund which would provide over 30 scholarships per year providing tuition, fees and a book stipend.
